Eastside Corridor Tolling Study

November 2009 – Eastside Corridor Tolling Study Open House

Welcome!



How does WSDOT determine express toll lane performance?

The performance takes into consideration five sections • (screen lines) of the corridorEvaluates the total number of people and vehicles • moving at free flow speedsCompares, for each option, a tolled improvement and • non-tolled improvementThe study results assume a 3+ HOV, car pool definition.• • Study options 2 and 3 will be too congested

at a 2+ HOV, car pool definition.

What have we heard so far?Use = Support Focus groups show that those who have used toll lanes, like the SR 167 HOT lanes and support the idea of express toll lanes on I-405.

Congestion relief = Willingness to PayOur research shows that approximately 52 percent would pay to use express toll lanes if it would give them a faster, more reliable trip. Participants in the focus groups who have used HOT lanes are willing to pay up to $5 asegment on I 405 to travel faster.

Understanding = SupportPeople who understand the benefits of express toll lanes tend to support them. When electronic toll operations were explained to phone survey participants, they found the collection method to be appealing.

Undecided = OpportunityFor people who do not yet know the benefits of express toll lanes, there is an opportunity to alleviate their concerns through further information.

Dislike of tolls = Non supportersPeople who dislike the idea of tolling under most or all circumstances are unlikely to become supporters.

“I use the HOT lanes regularly on SR-167 as I drive N/S to Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond. Having HOT (express toll lanes on) I-405 will save me hours of commute time every week. Please move forward with I-405. Thanks.”

Alex, Auburn

“I was skeptical about the idea when it first went in on the northern end of 167, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the results. I thought it would either clog the carpool lane forever or be incredibly frustrating if I was driving alone. Neither have happened. So put it in - I’m a fan.”

Lindsey, Pierce County
